We went to some yard sales today, a favorite past time of ours in the summer, and we came across a dandy. We arrived at one that from far away had the appearance of being the grand daddy of all yard sales. The treasures were abundant! As we drew closer to the fine items we realized that most things were drug up from the depths of the 1970s. There was old excercise apparatus and some pre-sequined shorts and shirts Richard Simmons videos - we were shocked they weren't on Beta. Among the rubble was also a lot of very old rusty tools, appliances, ceramics with mushrooms on them, old potholders etc. you could just smell the nostalgia. And then we came across the box....two of them actually.
Right there in the middle of the all this were two huge apple boxes filled with Playboys. We were wondering why all of the little boys seemed to have convened in this one spot. Who in their right mind would have this out for all the world to see? It was Larry the Cable Guy's long lost cousin. He was a burly man, wearing camo pants, work boots, a grey muscle shirt with a Monster truck on the front and a ball cap complete with embroidered deer head topped off his ensemble. The first words out of his mouth to his buddy were, " Man, I had so much fun the other day. I got out my potato gun and started shooting..." At this point Nate and I burst into laughter and started to leave when Nate spotted an old water heater. He was reading the description and then chuckled once more. On it read a sign that said, "Water Heater, Four Years old, Wooks good." That was the topper for this very "unique" sale to say the least.
Nate is seriously thinking of going back there sporting my wrist brace and picking up a whole box of Playboys and exclaiming to the man, "I'll take it!"
